Tricia, If you have Web access, you might take a look at the Web site, "Back Issues and Exchange Services." URL: http://www.uvm.edu/~bmaclenn/backexch.html I found this listing via Birdie MacLennan's Web page, which is very useful for serials librarians.

We are getting rid of a lot of stuff from the '60's and early'70's that I list occasionally on Backserv, but they are bound volumes; maybe you prefer single issues.

Quoyoon" <quoyoon@DORSAI.ORG> Subject: Re: Journal dealers listing wanted 1997: Oct 10th I realize you specify "larger companies" - but I do wonder the reason(s) for excluding smaller dealers. Are the larger dealers so efficient and professional that smaller ones, such as myself, are to be excluded even though we may be worthwhile enough to send your email or regular wnt lists? H.B.

They are, in order of our priority (based on promptness of response, ability to provide issues, cost and service), Hawkeye (we have been using them for years with a great deal of success) (phone is 605-472-1559 and fax is 605-472-3515) and Hans Kuperus (a new find for us) (phone 818-890-1403 and fax 818-897-4286). We have worked with a couple others, most recently USBE, and have not found their service such that we would be prepared to recommend them to other librarians. I would also suggest that some companies will have issues still available from the 80s. Joe Edelen University of South Dakota <jedelen@SUNFLOWR.USD.EDU>
